Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment of a crucifix. Remaining is the head and chest of Jesus, along with his outstretched upper arms. The arms are missing at the elbows, and the body is missing below the waist. The arms are circular in cross-section and taper to the break where they are 5mm in diameter. The head of Jesus is shown slumped to his right. The facial features are very worn, perhaps though being used as a touch amulet, however certain elements such as his long hair, beard and nose are still just visible. The reverse of the crucifix has a rectangular recess circa 2mm in depth, complimenting the line of his back. This recess would have allowed the figure to be slotted onto a cross or a backing plate.
